El Al Matmid - A woman buys all C for her and her dog

A 60 years old lady wanted to fly CDG->TLV with LY along with her dog. She bought the entire C class, which was changed to accommodate her along the cage of her dog. ah, and she paid 32K$ for the pleasure.

Questions:
1. Did she get all the points to herself (probably 4-5 tickets)?
2. Did the cage had flat lie bed? or did the dog had to settle for 160 degrees?
3. What did they do with the chairs? I mean, if they leave them in TLV, then C on the way to CDG was a few seats short, and if they leave them in CDG, how do they retrieve them? (or do they just send them in the cargo of the next flight)?

The English article didn't mention any cabin reconfiguration. Was that left out of the article? I would doubt $32k would be enough to do much.

How much would a charter flight be? I'd rather hire a pilot and have a private trip.

exactly. this does not make any sense. she could have chartered a biz jet for the same price.

This seems like a PR trick, rather than a real story.

But she is a woman! There is no sense in those! 8-)
Agree with airpchik... cheapr pr...
you take poochi, give it a pill and you can take it to the plane... the max you
need maybe if you want poochi (aka Or) is to buy the seat near you.

EL-AL allow pets on deck, They even supply pet's meal.
